portraits

Painting people on the late night sidewalks of the West Village, NYC, led to Romero leading art workshops for numerous non-profit agencies serving children and homeless artists, helping to give people the means and a place to present their talents. She was commissioned to make large portraits for the Canal Street Post Office and the Broadway/Layfayette subway Station. Here, the portrait was a form of engagement and getting to share trust with vulnerable people.
 Later, Romero lived in Turkey where she painted portraits of friends and students.
